Did you catch the PlayStation press conference livestream? Notice when it went all black? We wanted to set a proper mood, tone, and stage for our debut of The Last of Us gameplay. The venue, as well as the hard work of the press conference production crew, afforded us a fantastic setup. It was an amazing opportunity to showcase our blood, sweat, and pixels on the massive video screen in the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena this Monday night. We’re amped by the response we’ve received so far and looking forward to a very busy, very fun E3.

If you didn’t catch the livestream or would like to see unadulterated, pure images of the gameplay watch this video. At this point in the story Joel and Ellie are attempting to get to the bridge and out of the city. They are tourists in an area that’s controlled by hunters. They are hunted and yet they too are hunters. Everyone is willing to do whatever it takes to survive. What you’ll see is something that we’re calling Balance of Power AI. Enemies will react realistically to whatever situation your combat style forces them into. Playing as Joel, Ellie’s help and whatever weapons you can scavenge are your best shot at progressing in this brutal, violent world. Check it out:

The Last of Us is a game like no other. We’ve just begun to show you what’s in store for Joel and Ellie as they travel across the post-pandemic United States. The drive to preserve humanity against the infection creates tension that pushes the limits of what constitutes being human. The story will explore the bond that forms between Joel and Ellie, and themes of loyalty, love, and redemption in ways never before experienced in entertainment. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that plunges and twists into the depths of what it means to be human and what it takes to survive. So buckle up and brace yourself. Our ride is just getting started.

If you replaced Monkey w/ Nathan Drake this could have been Enslaved 2, halfway in time between then and now.
My wife thought this was Uncharted 4. Until we watched the 6 minute Tomb Raider demo and decided that was Uncharted 4. We’ll be playing TR instead. Nathan would never shoot a wounded defenseless guy in the face w/ a shotgun and neither will I. Too bad, looks freakin’ awesome, but I’m not an excessive blood and zombies kinda guy.

Like everyone else, I’ve been following this title since it surfaced. But, unlike most, I wasn’t all that thrilled..
IMO, the ‘zombie horde’ in games has been used hard and put away wet.. Old stuff and it’s been used and abused..
I needed more info on what the game really was before I would jump on the wandbagon.. :D

After seeing this gameplay, I’m sold. Take my monies please.

One request, though.. Give me at least 8 months of solid BL2 before you release it.. Otherwise I’ll be torn between two worlds.. :)

Nice! plus i like he fact that you can put things together kind of like rage a little. Naughty always does good so i know this will be stellar! But what I really wish they would do is collaborate with rock steady to make a Black Panther action/adventure, or just make 1 themselves!!

According to Amazon.com, the game will be released on December 31, 2012. That’s all nice and dandy, except for the fact that December 31 is a Monday. Anyone ever heard of new games being released on a Monday in North America?

Anyway, that was karazzzzzzzzzy game play video. Of course, that is to be expected from Naughty Dog. Always setting that bar just a little bit higher than before. Anyone else picture Gerard Butler as Joel the second the video started? :)

My only question is, how exactly am I expected to go to work and take care of my family with The Last Of Us, AC III, and GTA V all to be released (hopefully) end of 2012/beginning of 2013? How, huh? Answer that question for me, developers. :)

Naughty Dog PLEASE remove the gun Icon & bullet amount from the HUD. The only thing that should be there is the health bar & health pack, that’s it. I think you can get away with no HUD at all to be honest but the gun icons have got to go. There wouldn’t be any point in shooting a gun that doesn’t have any bullets if you can see it on the screen, get what I’m saying? That way it will be an even more immersive & an even bigger surprise for the gamer too to find out that way, that Joel is out of ammo. Someone please pass it on to them at least.

Naughty Dog,whats is wrong with u guys.Do u guys have godly game -making games because i feel like u guys do. You guys are like gods of games. Please make this come out 12/31/12
because i am going to die with out this
